Fixes agent multi-threaded verify breaking a shared manifest: serialise manifest writes, use per-thread outputs with a merge step, or move manifest state to a store with transactions. Use when parallel verify corrupts its shared manifest. Not for single-threaded manifest errors.
Fixes parallel restore tests crashing the sandbox: cap concurrency from measured sandbox capacity, isolate tests per environment, and queue excess work. Use when parallel agent restore tests overload their sandbox. Not for a single test crashing a VM from inside.
Retries intermittent pytest failures with the pytest-rerunfailures plugin. Use when a test fails randomly and passes on retry, via the flaky marker or the --reruns flag. Not for consistently failing tests.
Fixes a pentest agent's concurrent scans overwriting each other's output files, by giving every run its own output directory and filename namespace. Use when parallel scans of authorized targets produce missing or interleaved results. Not for sequential runs, where reuse of a working file may be deliberate and documen…
Finds the polluting test behind order-dependent failures that only appear in the full pytest suite. Use when a test passes alone but fails in the full run. Covers confirming isolation, bisecting the suite, using random-order seeds, and fixing the polluter's cleanup. Not for failures that reproduce alone.
Finds the shared file handle behind the I/O operation on closed file flake in parallel pytest runs. Use when the error appears intermittently with xdist. Covers finding module-level or module-scoped file handles, giving each test its own file via tmp_path, and rerunning in parallel. Not for single-process occurrences.

Raises the file-descriptor limit for pytest-xdist workers in CI. Use when parallel runs fail with OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files. Covers confirming the limit, raising it with ulimit in the CI step, reducing worker count, and checking for leaked handles. Not for the same error without xdist.

Problem outcome: unknown
Finds the async leak behind jest's Cannot log after tests are done flake in CI. Use when CI intermittently warns that logging happened after tests finished. Covers rerunning with --detectOpenHandles, locating the leaking timer or socket, and awaiting or cancelling the async work. Not for console noise during tests.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - my agent quarantined every test in the file that failed instead of finding the one broken test polluting the rest - [agent added cleanup to the victim test instead of the polluter - the leak still hi…

Problem outcome: unknown
Stops parallel workers from overwriting each other's JUnit reports by writing per-worker report files and merging them after the run. Use when parallel test runs produce incomplete or corrupted JUnit XML. Not for single-worker runs, where one report file is correct and merging adds nothing.
Isolates Mocha --parallel test files that leak state into each other. Use when files pass alone but fail together under --parallel. Not for order dependence inside one file.

Fixes websocket tests that exhaust connection limits by never closing. Use when tests hit connection caps. Key trigger: connection-limit errors during tests.
Stops parallel test shards from colliding on the same port by deriving per-shard ports from the shard index or using ephemeral ports. Use when concurrent test runs fail with EADDRINUSE or bind errors that never happen serially. Not for conflicts with unrelated services already holding a port.
Explains the Playwright "browser has been closed" error that kills a suite mid-run in CI: the three usual causes (container OOM-killer, a fixture closing a shared browser, worker oversubscription) and how to tell them apart from CI logs. Use when tests die partway through CI with this error while passing locally. Not …
